I have 3 sound devices. One is a USB headset while the others are....
01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (HDMI)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset
I use pulseaudio with no problems.....
skype allows one to select which audio device to use for what. So, for ringing I use the
Intel device while or my "speakers" I use the USB headset.
Unfortunately Amarok for one (and most KDE apps it seems), does not
give this option, just sends you to Phonon setup.
Using pavucontrol I can "show applications" (while they are
running) and the select which output device to use.
This is the only thing that's working and it's far from an ideal solution.
Also, under KDE System Settings.... I can go to
Multimedia-->Phonon and select the order if device preference. Intel is on top for
me...
Regrettably I just get a single entry for the Pulse Audio Server. Some
background might be in order, this is with Jack running and providing
Pulse sinks/sources. I know Pulse is still being used - pavucontrol
still shows the devices and the playback stream can be switched on to
jack_out - but there's no way to change device priority in Phonon.
Sounds like I need to find out why this has disappeared.
